THE CARPET BEETLE.

Destructive Little Foreigner.

Isv TO Get Rid Of This Formidable md
Destructive Little Foreigner.
The beetle is an eighth Of an inch
long and a twelfth Of an inch broad;
the main color black, with q red line
running along its back, and white
spots on each side. giving it an orna-
mental appearance. The beetle does
not eat the carpets, but it is the larva
which precedes it which does all the
mischief This is one-hah longer than
the beetle, and is ringed with light and
darker brown bands. As an Indication
Of its formidable character, Prof. Com
stock, entomologist Of Cornell UnIver-
sity, lately informed us that it had al
ready proved so destructive that he
thought wooden carpets would have to
be given up, floors vanished. and rugs
used for the central portions of the
rooms. The rugs may be frequently
lifted and the insects shaken on spread
papers and destroyed. Wooden gar
ments in closets must be frequently
examined. In one instance q WOODEN
dress was cut to pieces and destroyed
before any one was aware Of the mis-
chief done. Cases are reported where,
during one or two years absence of
the family, the insects have taken en-
tire possession from basement to gar
ret. and destroyed all wooden fabrics.
and even the picture cords.
Prof A. j. Cook recommends, as the
best remedy. TO place two or three
thicknesses of common toweling over
the borders of carpets. wruug out Of
water Just so as not TO drip, and then
To iron with fat irons so hot IS to send
. full head of steam through the car
pet. We have found this remedy
thoroughly ehiectual in our own expe-
rience, but 1t requires some labor. and
frequent repetition. Prof. Cook also
states that gasoline is sure cure; but
great caution is required to ventilate
thoroughly before any fire is brought
near, on account of its explosive yapor,
and indeed it should not be used in
house that has fire in any part. or
terrific accident might occur. Hmight
be employed. however. for articles re-
moved in boxes or otherwise to an out
building. Another remedy is corrosive
sublimate. applied in the following So
luton with brush to the floor under

Innate, one of sal ammoniac. and
fifty parts of water. The objection
10 this remedy is the danger
of accidents from its poisonous
character, i'm the hands of careless per-
sons. DIR. Lintner recommends the use
of benzine, applied to the floor creyices
under the carpet borders, which are
usually the first places of attack; and
as preventive he would use strips OF

doubt however, concerning the success of
his personal inquiry. His ideas on tariff
and money are not in accord with the
growing sentiment of the South,
and his administration has not been entire

The Verdict Unanimous.

w. ID. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind, testi-
fies 81 can recommend Electric Bitters as
the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has
given relief in every case. One man took six
bottles, and was cured of rheumatism of 10
years Standing Abraham Hare, druggist.
Bellville, Ohio, affirms: The best selling
medicine have ever handled in my 20 years
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thousands
of others have added their testimony, so that
the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or
Blood. Only half a dollar bottle at De-
vine & Coughlin's.

This week and the two following will
be devoted by President Cleveland, to a
trip West and South. Ostensibly he is
making this tour in order to become ac-
auainted with the people and the country,
but when the matter is sifted down to the

Liberty" and "free speech" are terms
which, when coupled with America, are
most misleading to the citizens of foreign
countries and especially to those people
who will not suffer the least restraints up
on deeds and words. Nor do these people
when they come from other countries to
this and become United States citizens,
get the correct idea of these terms. At
the recent meeting of the anarchists and
their friends. in the Cooper Union, New
York. resolutions were passed in which
the trial of Spies and his companions in
Chicago was characterized as 1.-THE culmi-
nation of reasonable conspiracy to crush
free Speech" and 1.-THE ruling classes
were warned mot to imperil the peace of
the Nation by trampling upon the most
sacred inheritance from our tore-fathers.
II Il is to be understood that tree speech
comprises the traitorous sentiments and
the fiendish determination of the Chicago
anarchists, then it is well to impress up
on the minds of foreigners abroad and
naturalized foreigners here, that this is
not country OF free speech, aud that the
bounds are as nearly confined and as strin
gentin America asn Europe. People whose
conception of liberty is unrestrained action
even to the extent of ungoverned passion
and whose conception of free speech is un-
limited use of unwhoesome and iuflama-
tory discourse are the very people who
are to be excluded from any civilized
country. and. if in any way this country
can free itself from this effete population

THE Massachusetts democrats" says
the free trade emocratic-mugwump New
York Post. "have the honor of producing
in the person of Pat Mcguire probably the
silliest and most impudent demagogue
who has ever figured in American politics.
The way the convention applauded and
laughed over his insolent Dragging at
Worcester on Tuesday was a great
humiliation for all intelligent and thought
full members of the party, and it was
crowned by the poor creatures bursting
out laughing himself over the degradation
of his audience. Everybody, of course,
sees plainly enough that party which
can set up such boss must be in bad
way. Doubtless President Cleveland
will see it too. He cannot go so low in
Massachusetts az to allow man like Ma
guire to bully man like Gen. COrse, no
matter what he submits to in Maryland.
The probabilities are, however, that the
party will receive lesson at the State
election which will save HIM the necessity
of listening to Mcguire.
